Οι Σπουδαιότεροι Rock & Metal Τραγουδιστές

Όπως γράφω και στην εισαγωγή μου, συγκέντρωσα μερικούς από τους πιο σπουδαίους τραγουδιστές και τραγουδίστριες του "σκληρού" ήχου και σας τους παρουσιάζω με αλφαβητική σειρά.

Γνωρίζω πολύ καλά ότι υπάρχουν κι άλλοι σπουδαίοι τραγουδιστές εκεί έξω (δεν τους έχω ακούσει και όλους!), όπως επίσης και ότι αρκετοί πολύ καλοί τραγουδιστές έμειναν εκτός λίστας.

Σίγουρα κάπου θα συμφωνήσετε, κάπου θα διαφωνήσετε, κάποιοι θα σας αρέσουν, κάποιοι όχι.

Όπως και να έχει, μην φοβηθείτε, λέγεται...διαφορετική άποψη!

Τα κριτήρια με τα οποία επιλέχτηκαν οι παρακάτω τραγουδιστές ήταν 3:

1. Οτιδήποτε αφορά την φωνή και την εκτέλεση  (π.χ. χροιά, τεχνική, εύρος, ερμηνεία κτλ.)
2. Επιρροή - Επίδραση (το κατά πόσο κάποιος/α έχει αποτελέσει επιρροή για άλλους τραγουδιστές ή ένα μουσικό ιδίωμα)
3. Το προσωπικό μου γούστο (όπως πάντα!)

Η λίστα είναι σε μορφή:

"Ονοματεπώνυμο τραγουδιστή/τραγουδίστριας | Μπάντες στις οποίες έχει συμμετάσχει (το "etc." σημαίνει "κτλ.) | Άλμπουμ κατατεθέν (προτεινόμενο άλμπουμ)"

Θα χαρώ να διαβάσω τα σχόλιά σας και να μάθω τους αγαπημένους σας τραγουδιστές (εντός ή εκτός λίστας)!
